**Okay gang…. I need to close this for now. If I can get all of these orders done in a few weeks I will open this back up okay? Give me until about mid-October and we’ll see. Thanks for the great response! And I’m not going to keep a wait list. Please understand that with this and the Indie Swag Club I’m up to my eyeballs in lists and orders!**
It’s Octbober! That means it’s officially Socktoberfest! In honor of the hostess with the mostest, I created a new colorway - Socktoberfest. This skein is for Lolly for a pair of knee-highs. It was going to be a surprise but I decided to do something special for this month for all of the Socktoberfest knitters so I’m showing everyone the pretty yarn.
How fun will those be to wear on Halloween!? (Hurry up Lolly and finish the ones you just started) For the whole month of October, I will sell 500 yards of this colorway to anyone who is participating in Soctoberfest. I can do it into two skeins like this so you can easily make your knee-highs or into one if you’d like. That’s 80-125 yards free! (depending on the fiber you choose) The price will be $25.00 plus shipping. Just let me know if you want some. You can still buy it if you aren’t in Socktoberfest but you just won’t get the additional yardage. M’kay?
Speaking of dyeing, I have 4 hours until my soccer game and I had better git.
Oh.
my.
god.
I’m trying to write this post and Supergirl just yelled, “Daddy?! Why does butter have BUTT in it?” I’m laughing so hard I can barely type. I need to go work. Have a good one y’all.

Socktoberfest just to buy it! Kids say the darndest things, don’

Pretty!! Yeah, I just got that same database connection error that I got yesterday when I tried your site. Time to open a ticket with Dreamhost??? *crosses fingers* I THINK mine’s been ok… so far… Good luck on the soccer game! And what did T say about the BUTT in BUTTer?
Beautiful yarn - have a great socktoberfest!
Too funny! Love that colorway. May have to spend some of ye old allowance on it…..
Great colorway, I just might have to take you up on it!
Good gawd, that’s some PRETTY yarn! I think I’d like to take you up on that one to knit for Socktoberfest. Aren’t kids a riot? That must have been hilarious.
I really love those colors! I’m in Socktoberfest and I’ll definitely take you up on that offer!
Too funny!
i love those colors together!! mummmm hummm!
very festive!!!
I want, I want!! I’m off to email you.
I can hear her voice as I read that–miss my little girlfriend!!
I am doing socktoberfest and would love to purchase some of that delicious yarn. How do I do that? Hope your game went well. Kids are soooooo cute!! Love that!! Thanks!
Cool yarn! I hope to see you at stitch and bitch this week!

I love it! Gotta save the pennies now
I’m not sure what’s making me giggle more, the comment your Supergirl made or the fact that the top picture of the two skeins in the stuffed jack-o-lantern looks like a Halloween Mickey Mouse!!!
That is truly a neat colorway (not one I’d have ever thought would go together). I’d jump on it but I don’t even know if I can make socks yet. Let’s see how it goes with the yarn from the Indie Swag Club goes first. =)
Cool colorway! hehe kids can be so literal at times!
Wow, It is so great, J! I love the colors together! I have not seen any like that either! Thank you so much! I can’t wait to get it
That is some seriously gorgeous yarn, indeed!
That might have to come home with me. >.> So gorgeous!
Just reading everything you’ve been up to lately is making me tired. (Couldn’t sleep last night — that could be a factor too.) That is one gorgeous colorway.
What do I have to do to get some of that yarn? I don’t see it in your shop. I am a Socktoberfest knitter.
I neeeeeeeeed that yarn.
I’m a Socktoberfest knitter… and just …welll… GOTTA have some.
My paypal account is poised to send you money (and my credit card is lurking in the wings offering its support).
Cool yarn. Supergirl is tooo funny, you know thats only the beginning!!!
Hehe - butt-er! Love those colours!
Hmm… I was just about to announce it on my blog - should I wait?
I would LOVE to buy some of that yarn. Can I order it here in your comments or what? I really don’t want to miss out on a great colorway.
Please, please, please, may I order some of that yarn? Do I order from the store or directly from you?
Oh my golly - I need me some of that Lolly yarn! The socktoberfest - it’s great! Please please please let me make the cut-off. Pretty please!
Gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous!
I just signed up for Socktoberfest and hope you still have enough yarn for me! Yum!
Ooh! I’d like some! I’m signed up for Socktoberfest, and those would make some KILLER socks. I want mine in 2 skeins please. =)
Hi ya! Will you please include me in ?! Pls let me know what additional post is required for Australia also. Ta!!!!!!
That’s what you get for making awesome stuff.
I’m glad I’m already on the list. I can make some “ooh ooh witchy woman” socks.
I’m participating in Socktoberfest and would love two skeins of this so I can make Kneehighs. Thanks!
If I’m not too late, that color way is absolutely fantastical. I’d love to have my own pair of knee highs in that great color. If I don’t get a paypal notice from you, I’ll know I was too late. I am celebrating Socktoberfest.
Hope I make the cut-off. How can I not lust after a purple colorway. My Socktoberfest kicks off Wednesday night.
ooh. i’d love some, but I don’t have yarn money until the 13th… do you think it’ll still be available by then??
Just wondering if you’re still taking orders for the Socktoberfest colorway. I’d love to pick some up for Socktoberfest knitting! Please shoot me an email if you are! Love your handpainted so much, I can’t help myself!
Actually - I can scrape together the cash… as a Socktoberfest participant, and a Socktober ..err, OCtober birthday girl, I gotta have Socktoberfest yarn!
If it’s still available, put me down for a skein, please. 
Thanks!!
Okay, so I missed the cut-off:) But I have to express my appreciation - nice! I like that you snuck (sneaked?) some purple in there!
I’m so happy that your business is booming, Scout! You deserve it.
Oh, I hope you dye some omore of that bewtiching yarn! I have never wanted to order a yarn so badly. I will be watching ( witching) and wishing ( witching) to see you sell some more. You are the best at color! So cool!
That is such a perfect Halloween color! It’s so cool!
Wow, with every new colour you show off, it makes me wonder if I can knit.. It is So Lovely and Cool!
That Socktoberfest colorway is outstanding!! Love it. Happy Socktoberfest knitting!!

[...] In the meantime, you can see the lovely colorway that Scout created for Socktoberfest! It is a perfect Halloween/fall-inspired colorway! Orders are limited, however, so check her blog for more details. [...]
[...] Yeah, long story, but Scout? I know you’re totally busy dyeing 35 skeins for the sock club, and that you have like 30 million orders of that Socktoberfest Yarn, but if you feel compelled to write up those directions for winding that warping board of yours…well I’d volunteer to be your slave helper for dyeing the next month’s worth of sock club yarn. Cause I totally didn’t wind the Pink Panther right, and it definitely didn’t go back on the board right, so it became a giant tangled mess. It’s almost done being wound into a nice little ball, since everytime I walk by it, I weave the ball through the tangled parts just a little bit more. I’m hoping to be done with it sometime before I die, but there is a lot of it. Hopefully Lori is blessed with patience as much as luck…did you know that this is her 3rd consecutive win on a sock yarn contest? [...]
[...] Further proof that I am a loser? I joined Socktoberfest, it’s October 5th already, and I have yet to touch a sock…my excuse? I’m waiting for my Socktoberfest yarn from Scout. (no pressure or anything, but, ummmm, Scout?…When will it be here?) C. Yes, I am addicted. To mittens. In fact, I’m positively SMITTEN. [...]
[...] These will not be coming with me to Rhinebeck though as it would be damn near impossible for me to maintain any sort of communication while executing a 12 row chart on size 1’s. Unless I changed my mind (again) and decided to do plain ole vanilla stockinette…maybe with a picot cuff? Anyhow…here’s Scout’s Socktoberfest colorway in the Diamante pattern from the new Knitty. I’ve gotten mixed reviews so far. Some have thought it too busy, or that the colors are overpowering the diamonds, or that the pattern is taking away from the beauty that is the yarn itself, and others have liked it as is. I’m sitting on the fence here and my butt is starting to hurt from the pickets poking me. Any advice/comments/suggestions oh wise and knowledgeable bloggers? [...]
